Moderna is a US biotechnology company. Its COVID-19 vaccine was approved for use in the UK on 8 January, 2021 - the third vaccine to get this approval. Moderna is expanding its production capability in Europe and UK supplies are expected in spring 2021.
Moderna's share price rose after it announced encouraging early results from vaccine trials in November 2020, so news of an approved vaccine could see the share price rise further. The company uses a molecule called "messenger RNA" (or mRNA), which exists in the cells in your body, to produce medicines. We've compiled what you need to know about how to buy Moderna shares.

Alternative ways to invest in Moderna
Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Moderna), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Moderna is a major part of the NASDAQ, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is Moderna under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Moderna P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
Moderna's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 0x. In other words, Moderna's shares trade at around 0x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 09, 2023 (20.44). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
